Every year funds raised from the Phantom Ball have helped make possible the launch of hospital projects and equipment purchases. In the last two years, we have completed a significant laboratory modernization and purchased much needed equipment upgrades for radiology, laboratory and endoscopy. In addition, funds have been directed to the Extended Care Unit, to nurses education and to AED training. You made it happen!

In the year ahead, the Foundation will continue the strong support for hospital modernization and equipment upgrade initiatives.

To show our appreciation, when you make a donation to the Phantom Ball you can enter the Lady Minto Hospital Foundation Prize Draw for a chance to win the prize for a vacation in BC’s beautiful Okanagan Valley.

We all win when you support the Lady Minto Hospital.

The Minto MASH took place at the Ganges Fire Hall on Saturday, April 20th. The AED equipment was showcased along with the Mega Code Kelly medical training doll and the FAST Ultrasound. Dr. Ian Gummeson and Dr. Jan MacPhail along with AED instructors Beth Weston and Cathy Harris were on hand to demonstrate the equipment and answer questions. The Teddy Bear Clinic was a hit for kids, with special thanks to Freddie and Roxy Dailly and friends who provided face painting in the MASH tent and to Jenny Redpath R.N. and Leanne Tippett R.N. who were on hand to patch up teddy bears. The Ambulance crew and Search and Rescue members were on hand to show off their rigs.

Special guest appearance by Hot Lips Houlihan, a.k.a. Lady Minto Admitting Clerk, Lori Tether, was a highlight of the afternoon.

We thank all participants for making this a fun and informative event. Special thanks also to Chief Tom Bremner and his crew for co-sponsoring our event.
